Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (As Amended)

SEDGEMOOR DISTRICT COUNCIL hereby REFUSE PERMISSION in respect of the

application of: Mr A Downes
as described in the plans and particulars received on 13/10/14

Parish: Bridgwater
O.S. Sheet No: ST2836NE
O.S. Grid Ref: 328715.63 (Easting) 136816.76 (Northing)

PROPOSAL: Erection of a pair of semi detached dwellings, associated new access and
upgrade to existing access.
LOCATION: 16 Park Avenue, Bridgwater, TA6 7EF

PERMISSION IS REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS(S)

1 Park Avenue is an established estate with a strongly defined building line

throughout. There is a definite pattern of development which would be breached
by this proposal. This triangle of properties is also characterised by large
semi-detached properties with fairly extensive side garden areas. The imposition
of a pair of semi-detached properties would be out of character, contrived and out
of keeping and would not represent high quality and inclusive development. The
proposal is therefore contrary to Policies D2 and D5 of the Sedgemoor District
Core Strategy.

ADVISORY NOTES

Appeals

If you are aggrieved by the decision of your local planning authority to refuse permission for
the proposed development or to grant it subject to conditions, then you can appeal to the
Secretary of State under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

If this is a decision on a planning application relating to the same or substantially the same
land and development as is already the subject of an enforcement notice, if you want to
appeal against your local planning authoritys decision on your application, then you must do
so within 28 days of the date of this notice.

If an enforcement notice is served relating to the same or substantially the same land and
development as in your application and if you want to appeal against your local planning
authoritys decision on your application, then you must do so within:
28 days of the date of service of the enforcement notice, or within 6 months [12 weeks in the
case of a householder appeal] of the date of this notice, whichever period expires earlier.

If this is a decision to refuse planning permission for a minor commercial application, if you
want to appeal against your local planning authoritys decision then you must do so within 12
weeks of the date of this notice.

If you want to appeal against your local planning authoritys decision then you must do so
within 6 months of the date of this notice.

Appeals must be made to the Secretary of State using a form which you can get from the
Planning Inspectorate at Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1
6PN (Tel: 0303 444 5000) or by submitting electronically online at
www.planningportal.gov.uk/planning/appeals/online/makeanappeal.

The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal but will not
normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which
excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal.

The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to the Secretary of State that
the local planning authority could not have granted planning permission for the proposed
development or could not have granted it without the conditions they imposed, having regard
to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of any development order and to any
directions given under a development order.
